When Zheng Xiaoguang went to the living room to get some water, she happened to see her mother watching a TV series that she had watched before. She sat on the sofa and watched TV together with her mother. After finishing the episode, she returned to her room.

The moment she sat at her computer and saw Shallow Sleep, the elder from the Sacred Temple, sitting beside her character Flowing Light, she was frightened to death and thought, “What? It really looks like that we’re dating.

“Oh, no!

“Why does the Sacred Temple try so hard to frame me?”

She felt that she nearly started to spout blood and immediately made her character Flowing Light ride on her mount and flee. The moment she arrived at a new place, she received a Nearby message.

Shallow Sleep: Are you back online?

…

She really did not want to talk to this guy.

Shallow Sleep: I’m sorry for what happened today.

Zheng Xiaoguang was stunned and thought, “What? Does he mean that he’s sorry for framing me? Does he think it’s alright to just apologize to me after that?” She decided to ignore him and then moved her character Flowing Light to another seldom-visited beginners’ region. When she arrived, Shallow Sleep popped out again.

She wondered, “Did he buy a Clairvoyant to check my coordinates?”

Zheng Xiaoguang tried to move to another region, and Shallow Sleep quickly found her again.

Flowing Light: Hey… That’s enough. Can you stop following me? If you continue to do so, I’ll have to log off.

In the meantime, she thought worriedly, “Once someone happens to see us being together and take a screenshot to prove that we’re dating. I’ll never be able to shake off the suspicion.”

Shallow Sleep: Do you really like Bluegreen-Clad?

(⊙o⊙)… Zheng Xiaoguang was rendered speechless. She had to admit that she had never thought about this carefully. She considered Bluegreen-Clad as her friend but was not sure whether she really liked him. Suddenly she thought of a handsome young man and felt hurt.

Flowing Light: This is none of your business.

Shallow Sleep: Don’t get me wrong. I just think that two men should not use a woman to secure the alliance between them.

Upon seeing that, Zheng Xiaoguang mocked in her heart, “Well, that’s funny. You speak as if you guys from the Sacred Temple were noble and unsullied.”

Flowing Light: Why did you say that you wanted to marry me? Are you trying to cozy up to the Matchless or to undermine the alliance between the Matchless and the League of Strong Families?

Shallow Sleep: I admit that I did notice you. The fight against you in the city is my worst defeat so far.

Flowing Light: So, you want to get back at me by setting me up? I got kicked out by the League of Strong Families. Are you happy now?

Zheng Xiaoguang finally got a chance to vent her anger.

Flowing Light: Are you satisfied with the result now? If you are, please leave me alone. You don’t have to follow me around to see how embarrassed I am.

Shallow Sleep: I’m really sorry.

Upon seeing that, Zheng Xianguang thought, “Apologize to me again? This guy is such a hypocrite.”

Flowing Light: Do you really think that saying sorry actually does any good? Can I kill you now and then apologize to you?

Shallow Sleep: You don’t need to apologize to me. You can kill me now, if it’ll make you feel better. I promise you that I won’t fight back.

Zheng Xiaoguang could not help mocking in her heart, “Well, that’s moving, but this trick doesn’t work on me.”

Flowing Light: If I hadn’t seen you slay me teammates and frame me together with your gang boss with my own eyes this afternoon, I would’ve believed that you’re a good guy!

Shallow Sleep remained silent for quite a long time, and when Zheng Xiaoguang thought that he finally gave up, he sent her a message, which stunned her again.

Shallow Sleep: How about I establish a new gang and let you be the first lady of my gang to make it up to you?

Zheng Xiaoguang was shocked and thought, “Uh-huh? Can someone tell me if there’s anything wrong with my eyes? I seem to have some visual hallucination. How come this Shallow Sleep suddenly wants to establish a new gang and marry me?” She really wanted to ask Shallow Sleep if there was anything wrong with his head. (She had wanted to ask Bluegreen-Clad the same question when she knew that Bluegreen-Clad agreed to this marriage arranged by Blooming Pear Tree.)

Nevertheless, before she could ask Shallow Sleep the question, she was dazzled by a flashing beam of white light. Bluegreen-Clad reached here through the couple transfer.

Zheng Xiaoguang checked her messages and found out that she had missed an important game message. Five seconds ago, when she had been stunned by Shallow Sleep’s offer, the system had sent her a message to inform her that her husband was online.

“Gee, what’s going on here? Did Bluegreen-Clad see what Shallow Sleep said just now? Sigh, did he come to check whether I was cheating on him?” Zheng Xiaoguang looked at the screen and clearly felt the tension between the two guys.

She thought dejectedly, “If someone else happens to see this and take a screenshot, I guess that I’ll see my name in tabloid headlines on the Shiny Sky forum. Alas, why do I have to talk to this Shallow Sleep alone when I know that we’re rumored to have an affair. I’m really stupid.”

The three of them remained silent for a minute. Zheng Xiaoguang looked at the two silent guys and felt extremely awkward. She thought, “I have to leave this place now. Otherwise, I’ll get stressed out. But if I flee, I’ll probably irritate them and die a miserable death…”

[Nearby] Bluegreen-Clad: Flowing Light, let’s go.

Game Message: Player Bluegreen-Clad invites you to join his team. Please choose whether to accept his invitation: Yes/No.

Upon seeing that, Zheng Xiaoguang thought worriedly, “Uhm… he doesn’t call me honey today. He calls me Flowing Light. Does he really believe that I have an affair with Shallow Sleep? My big brother Blooming Pear Tree, you’d better get ready to collect the corpse for me.”

Zheng Xiaoguang obediently clicked yes to join Bluegreen-Clad’s team and left with him. She thought that Bluegreen-Clad was going to find a quiet place to talk with her, but to her surprise, he just took her to complete some weekly missions.

She arrived at another region together with the team and awkwardly followed Bluegreen-Clad when he rapidly slew waves after waves of monsters.

As Zheng Xiaoguang always remembered Bluegreen-Clad as a nice and humorous man, she found his unusual silence somewhat scary. To break this awkward silence, she decided to take the initiative to talk.

Flowing Light: God-like Bluegreen-Clad, are you angry with me? There’s really nothing between me and that Shallow Sleep…

She was careful about what she said to him, but he still remained silent.

Flowing Light: Everyone has feelings, so do I. You guys have been so nice to me since I joined the League of Strong Families. How can I betray you for some guy from the Sacred Temple? I’m not stupid or insane.

The god-like Bluegreen-Clad had given her eight-star purple equipment and a legendary Yellow Spring golden weapon, making her the most enviable girl in Watery South. Even if he did not have good looks in real life, she would never betray such a nice friend.

Besides… she was well aware that once the god-like Bluegreen-Clad firmly believed that she cheated on him, she would never be able to survive in Watery South. No matter how capable her big brother Blooming Pear Tree was, he could not protect her 24 hours a day. She herself would never be able to resist the many members of the League of Strong Families and the numerous female fans of Bluegreen-Clad.

Zheng Xiaoguang sighed secretly, “Does he really think that I’m so stupid to cheat on him? Only someone like Venus, who always wants to kick me out, will easily be ‘deceived’ by the Sacred Temple.”

Flowing Light: God-like Bluegreen-Clad, please trust me, okay?
